If I clamp one end of the belt, heat up a steel plate with a torch, hold the plate between the ends and slide it out when the ends start melting. I'll see if it works, got nothing to lose before a replacement shows up.

Use a Teflon coated skillet/pan on the stove or you will burn the ends and they will not stick together I do remember that Ha,LOL!
Just push the ends into the quite warm, but not smoking hot pan with your hands like melting a stick of butter.
When they start mushrooming just push them together and hold steady for a minute or two ----used to work for me but no guarantees it is even that type of material
